Thank you, Madam Chair.
I welcome the witnesses joining us today.
Ms. Thompson, in May 2019, you signed the San Francisco declaration on research assessment, commonly known as DORA, which recommended eliminating the use of journal-based metrics. However, a number of your programs, including the research chairs and NSERC's guidelines on contributions, continue to value productivity in terms of publications, number of citations, and institutional prestige.
How do you explain this contradiction between your international commitments and your own criteria?
